for 3D (Vision) you need :
-no TH2Go
-120Hz Panels
-shutter glasses


And I'll get 5040x1050 then?

I really want 3D, but can I run just standart 2D in 5040x1050?

P.S.: I am asking such quastions because of some miss understandings in few upper messagas.

Like this Sapphire combo deal with the VGA adapter for only $10 extra? ;-)

Nice! Now thats what I am talking about! The largest headache people have head with Eyefinity it seems, is getting the right adapter and the price of the adapter. VGA adapter is a perfectly valid alternative and 10$ extra is something I think many would pay even if they initially wasn't planning on getting eyefinity (or perhaps wants to try it out with borrowed screens). :)

Yes, youll get 2D 5040x1050 running standart 60Hz LCD panels (120Hz needed for 3D Surround), both dx10 and dx11 are supported.

you don't need anything special to get 2D 5040x1050 with nvidia surround besides the proper driver & two or 3 nvidia gfx cards ...

This was a great day for me!!!
Download 258.69, replug everything, 2 or 3 mouse clicks and surround is working!!! Fire up BC2 and it works a treat with roughly the same framerate as before only now I have DX10 with MSAA... This was in start contrast to the endless nights spent trying to get 5040 working with the TH2GO :(
Just a quick rundown of my settings...
2 x GTX285 and i7
Game: BC2
2 x anisotropic no AA
DX9
fps, varies between 60 - 95 fps never dipping below 60
roughly the same with nVIDIA surround although I didn't test for long (2 maps)
MSAA has allowed me to use 2 x MSAA at the expense of only ~10 fps which I make up by turning down a few other settings. Before using 2 x FSAA in DX9 I couldn't get it to stay above 60 fps even with everything on low.
Incidentally, BC2 changes my refresh rate to 59.953999 when I select DX10 so everyone who says that DX10 doesn't work with the TH2GO because it needs exactly 60Hz may have to eat their words.
Now my problem is how to get rid of this TH2GO, honestly I wont miss it at all...
Thanks you nvidia!

No one else has had issues with the their system locking up (primary monitor going into standby) when they launch games at triple-head resolutions?

No problems here, from reading your other post, I am wondering if your second card is bad? I would swap slots between the cards, reinstall the drivers, and then try some single monitor gaming on the other card and see if it locks up. From your other post I see you have 3 identical monitors, so refresh rate or resolution is not the issue.

Are all games having a problem or just Metro 2033?

I had Battlefield Bad Company 2 cranking my video cards hard for the last 4 hours and not a hitch.

yeah - surround feels a bit more polished to me than eyefinity... but that could just be the extra horse power I have now with two cards... so far I haven't had any issues getting games to play nice with surround. FEAR was a little fussy at first, but I smacked it around and it's working fine now, but when you pass an auto save point the left screen will go blank for like 1 second.. it's a little distracting.. but older game and all.. I am just happy it works ala uberwide.
